Hummingbird Zip Pouch in hand-printed fabrics


February’s stitchalong theme was “Live in Love” so I chose to embroider a hummingbird as it’s prettt common knowledge I’m a “hummingbird hoarder!”
Since it was for the stitchalong, I had the hummingbird stitch a whimsical line with a heart.

I decided to use this pretty reddish-orange hand-painted fabric made by @edel in a monoprint on fabric swap on the dead site. It makes me think of a sunrise/sunset. I paired it with a leafy green printed fabric from @jemimah from the same swap. The green zipper matches so perfectly.

Close up of detail work on the hummingbird.

Well, this project wouldn’t be complete if there wasn’t more Lettuce collaboration, so the liner fabric is a prett floral gifted to me by @SonjaBoo when we were met up this summer (she lives one town over from family I was visiting!)

Final bag size is 7.5" by 8.5" and has midweight interfacing on outside fabrics.


Thanks to everyone who contributed to this project!

@JoyfulClover and @thanate Thanks! Yea, now that the kiddos are older, they keep themselves occupied with video games and books, so more time to craft. Plus, it was lucky we had a snow day!

@Jeanne, thank you!

@aimr, thank you! LC collaboration is so fun, isn’t it?
